Have a good day/night

Answer 2

36 minutes

Explanation:

You subtract the time she started from the time she finished.

So, it would be 7:15 - 6:39.

It would be easier to find the number that, when added to 6:39, results to 7:00.

To do so, you subtract 39 from 60.

60 - 39 = 21 minutes

Now, add 21 to 15.

21 + 15 = 36 minutes

Therefore, it took her 36 minutes to complete the race.

Hope this helps!
